2oceansvibe Radio Goes Live On News24 Front Page

It is with great pride and excitement that 2oceansvibe Media – in particular 2oceansvibe Radio – can now announce a strategic collaboration with South Africa’s #1 news source, News24.

The relationship between Media24 and 2oceansvibe Media has gone from strength to strength over the past few years, with both news sources often sharing articles, links and quotes. 2oceansvibe regulars who can’t enter the day without the Morning Spice headlines, will agree that news24 often features alongside the likes of Daily Telegraph, New York Times and Wall Street Journal as the go-to site for world news headlines.

By the same token it was a natural decision for news24 to add a bit of “the vibe” to their front page, so as to further enrich their readers’ experience and add some entertainment and listening pleasure to the otherwise dull office background sounds! After all, who has an FM radio at the office these days? The button is located under the popular “News You Should Know” portion of the front page, alongside the financial indicators.

With the likes of Ian F (breakfast show from 08h00 to 10h00), Lindsay Williams and Rich Hardiman (10h00 to 12h00), Just Josie (12h00 to 14h00), Bailey Schneider (14h00 to 15h00) and a host of other specialist weekly shows from 15h00 to 17h00 (including Bob Skinstad, Mark Bayly, Brendan Jack, Chris Forrest and more) behind the mic, we’re sure the new listeners will settle in quite comfortably!

Especially when the stream uses only 20mb/hour and provides original content with presenters who can finally discuss what they want and play the music they want!

We’re very proud of our new Radio button on the front page of News24, so please click here and go and check it out in all it’s glory. We’re in the early stages so please give it a click and let us know if everything is working smoothly. We would appreciate any feedback.

Yes but……what about those “fabricated” internet radio listener stats? I’m really curious and concerned about this. The industry faced similar allegations years ago when Nielsen/Redsherrif was first introduced to the SA web community, where accusations of double/triple tagging was being used to boost numbers. Are we seeing a repeat of this?

Still, 2OV is certainly out there, leading the way.

Hey Warren. We couldn’t agree with you more. Here’s what we’ve had to say on the matter so far: http://www.2oceansvibe.com/2012/06/28/2oceansvibe-media-statement-regarding-radio-listenership-figures/ & http://www.2oceansvibe.com/2012/06/27/netdynamix-responds-to-internet-radio-listenership-allegations-press-release/ Thanks for your kind words, and support!

Great supported of the vibe, but since I’ve been to news24 a few times since you posted this for the 1st time and I don’t see any link for 2ov radio. Using Chrome. Sorry guys, but it aint there!!

Hey Herms! Thanks for the kind words! I’m also on Chrome, but using Mac OSX 10.6.8, and I can see it just fine. I also tried on Safari and Firefox, and had success. It’s directly below the “News You Should Know” menu, and it’s dressed in a rather fetching blue. I’ll drop you a mail right now, and we’ll get to the bottom of the glitch. Cheers, SS
